I skimming through the New York Post on Page Six and crossed some information on Marc Jacobs. Currently, Jacobs is not with Jason Preston and has been seen around L.A. and New York with his new boy toy Austin A. (You could see the article here) Turns out he was seen arguing with him in public in L.A. at their hotel in front of guests. After the argument, he left Austin there.

I'm not big on gossip amongst celebrities, but Jacobs is a very interesting person. He is the designer to look for in NY, plus Louis Vuitton in Paris. Jacobs is great at knowing trends and starting them. The world has always been constantly obsessed with celebrities, we want to know everything about them, what they are doing what they are wearing etc. He, himself, has become exactly like one. People around the world actually recognize his face rather than just his name.

He is just like all the other celebrities, Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Ritchie, etc. He went to rehab for drug and alcoholism and his love life is constantly in the media. Just recently, in the past few months, he has lost a large amount of weight and looks 15 years younger than before (in less than 6 months). This gave more reason for people to continue watching him. There has been a craze with celebrities that have became designers... but has Jacobs made it were he can be both? Of course he is an amazing designer, always innovative and constantly changing (like he has been since he did his show at Parson's and continued on to Perry Ellis). Since then, his celebrity followers have copied his designs and put their names on the clothing labels.

So does that make Jacobs ahead of the trend? Or is he just smart enough to start trend right before they come into place?

You decide.
